I am using “Windows Vista” and I am facing a problem that every time the (UAC) User Account Control alert box opens. I am really fed up of clicking on the “Continue” button and I want to get rid of this problem.
Whenever I tried to open the features of “Windows Vista” like the Task Scheduler, Network and Sharing Center I always have to confirm about it.
Please tell me how to fix the problem.
Thanks.

1. Click Start then open Control Panel.
2. Type UAC on the search box above.
3. Turn UAC on or off.
4. Uncheck the checkbox beside Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer and then click OK.
5. Restart your computer for changes to take effect. After a restart, you can no longer deal with UAC again.

Windows Vista executed what is known as User Account Control, which was supposed to act as a light blanket of security. It's only purpose is to notify the user that a program is being performed, and requirements permission from the user in order to continue with the implementation.
